Bangkok Planetarium

The Bangkok Planetarium is the oldest planetarium in Thailand. It is located on Sukhumvit Road in Bangkok as part of the Science Centre for Education, which is operated by the Department of Non-Formal Education of the Ministry of Education.

Construction of the planetarium began in 1962 with a budget of twelve million baht and it opened on 18 August 1964. The planetarium dome is 20.60 metres in diameter and 13 metres high, and holds 450 seats. The planetarium uses a Mark IV Zeiss projector, which was the first installation of a large planetarium projector in Southeast Asia. Apart from the theatre itself, the building also features permanent exhibitions on astronomy, aimed at young audiences.

Admission is 20 baht for children and 30 baht for adults.

Mostly for kids, but if you have around 1 hour of a free time - may be worth checking for fun.

The space exploration exhibition is good but a major upgrade of the whole project is needed

Planetarium was under construction. For 30 thb, can't complain, but overall the place is in poor shape.

นอกจากการฉายดาวแล้ว ท้องฟ้าจำลองกรุงเทพยังมีเครื่องฉายสำหรับภาพยนต์ที่ฉายแบบเต็มโดมด้วย โดยมีสารคดีแบบเต็มโดมแสดงทุกวัน

ใครมีลูกควรพาลูกไป เด็กแต่ละคนเข้าไปดูตื่นเต้นสนใจถามพ่อถามแม่กันใหญ่ เรื่องที่ฉายเค้าเปลี่ยนไปเรื่อยๆ

“ตำแหน่งที่ดีที่สุดในห้องฉายดาวคือ รัศมีด้านทิศเหนือ” เพราะเป็นทิศเดียวกับที่ผู้บรรยายเห็น
